Montana kept her cashmere wrap firmly around her shoulders like a protective shield as she stepped out of the limousine in front of the Waldorf. Quinn had gotten out before her and was now standing guard near the car door, his body between her and the open crowd.

It was silly, really, she argued with herself as she walked next to Quinn toward the red carpet entrance. The cashmere would do nothing to protect her from a crazy killer with an agenda, but there was something about the fabric cocoon that reassured, even as it kept her warm.

“You okay?” Quinn whispered as they stepped up to a small marked spot on the edge of the carpet and posed for pictures.

“Ms. Grant! It’s a big week next week!”

“You’re taking your father’s legacy public. Do you think he’d be pleased or angered?”

“Who is your date?”

She forced a smile as they posed and ignored the questions, Quinn’s hand tightening around hers on that last question.

Date?

Even in the midst of all that was happening—the danger, the threats and the overwhelming sense of menace—the thought of being on a date with the large man standing next to her thrilled her to the depths of her toes.

Her thoughts slammed her back into the bedroom before she finished getting ready for the gala. Warmth filled her and her mind grew slightly fuzzy as her body tingled with remembered pleasure, the result of his expert touch.

Was he still thinking about it, too?

Was he as sorry as she was they didn’t finish what they’d started?

Although she appreciated his gentlemanly restraint, a part of her wished they’d not only been late, but had never even left the house. Whatever imagined protection a cashmere wrap and the man by her side semi-promised, being wrapped in his arms for an evening of pleasure was a hell of a lot safer.

For your body, maybe, her conscience whispered. But not your heart.

Before Montana even realized it, her grip on his fingers tightened as the memories of the pleasure they had drawn from her body left her desperately wanting more.

Quinn looked down at her from his impressive height as he led her to the entrance, a knowing smile curving his strong lips and boldly chiseled chin.

Oh shit, am I in deep.

The ballroom was set up in a similar fashion to the evening before, but there was an additional round of security each person was required to pass through. “The governor’s attending”—Quinn leaned over and whispered—“which works in our favor.”

Montana expected this would make her feel better, but she was surprised as she discarded her wrap and purse and laid them in a plastic bin that the nerves buzzing in her stomach weren’t diminishing.

Moving through the metal detector, her gaze scanned the room and the crowd of blue bloods who were shedding their garments in a similar fashion. She watched a doddering old couple she’d known for years link hands after the man retrieved his wife’s purse, the actions so natural and easy, she could tell they’d spent their lives together.
